Kal Tire

OTR

Aug 15, 2013

No other tire dealer offers a larger product selection to meet all your OTR needs.

 

Kal Tire has the equipment and the high level of competency in our people to handle the smallest OTR tires (loaders/graders etc) to the largest (like the tires we supply to the open pit mines).

 

We have a complete line up (Michelin, Yokohama Bridgestone, Nokian, Firestone). This means we can be very specific about what tread design is best suited for your application and budget.

 

We also have the ability to hour track your tires. This means you can see for yourself what tire is providing the absolutely lowest operating cost per hour. In the long run, those operators which measure their costs by cost-per-hour rather than simply cost of initial purchase, will realize much greater savings throughout the fleet. The graph below shows how we measure cost per hour.

 

Many of our locations are equipped with a Full Hiab service crane truck capable of handling up to 2700/49. Our OTR service people are also very aware of how important inflation pressure is in the front and rear tires, as each piece of equipment has a specified tipping weight.

 

Retreading

Thinking of Retreading Your OTR Tires?

Given the costs associated with purchasing new tires, retreading your existing tires is the smart, economical, cost saving way to run your business. Under certain conditions, a tire can be retreaded up to four or five times -- of course it all depends on the stress to the tire casing, but normally you can expect to retread a tire at least twice. Each time, you will get your tires back looking and working like new.

 

Stop Losing Money On Your Casings!

Our OTR customers realize further significant savings by using their own casing for retreading, instead of running it to destruction. At Kal Tire we encourage all our OTR customers to pull their tire when its useful life is over, thus saving them the added cost of having to purchase an additional casing for retreading. By doing this, our customers save between $150-$350 per tire, depending on size.
